and yet Deepika Padukone doesn't consider herself a celebrity.

"I don't consider myself a celebrity. I believe that I've had a fantastic upbringing and I believe my parents have kept me really grounded and rooted.

I hope that success never gets to me, " said Deepika whose "Chandni Chowk To China" has just hit the screens.

"I've seen my father (badminton champion Prakash Padukone) handle success really well and I hope I continue in the same way because I believe that fame and money are secondary things. The main thing is to enjoy your work, " she added.
